[libvirt] [PATCH 01/10] Allow handshake with child process during startup

Tue May 24 15:21:16 UTC 2011


Allow the parent process to perform a bi-directional handshake
with the child process during fork/exec. The child process
will fork and do its initial setup. Immediately prior to the
exec(), it will stop & wait for a handshake from the parent
process. The parent process will spawn the child and wait
until the child reaches the handshake point. It will do
whatever extra setup work is required, before signalling the
child to continue.

The implementation of this is done using two pairs of blocking
pipes. The first pair is used to block the parent, until the
child writes a single byte. Then the second pair pair is used
to block the child, until the parent confirms with another
single byte.
